Registration for the Spring 2009 Term: Information for First-Years

Greetings! I hope you are having a rewarding first
semester. I have some important information for you with respect to
your classes for the Spring Term. Please read this entire
message.

For the Spring 2009 Semester, first-year students will be randomly
assigned to sections of Property (4 credits), Introduction to Criminal
Procedure (3 credits), Constitutional Law (3 credits) and Legal Writing
II (2 credits).

Additionally, you will have the opportunity to select an elective of one
of the following courses: Civil Procedure II (3 credits); Contracts II (3
credits); International Law (3 credits); or Administrative Law (3
credits). You will be asked to indicate your first, second, and
third elective choice on a form that will be placed in your hang-file in
a week or so.

I do, however, have two additional and VERY IMPORTANT scheduling
notes for you at this point

(1) IF you will have (a)special scheduling needs based
on extraordinary/compelling circumstances or (b) will be a
part-time student in Spring 2009, you must submit a letter detailing
your need, along with any relevant supporting documentation (such as a
letter from your employer) by Friday, November 14th.Your request should be submitted to Assistant Dean Kevin Kelly,
either by placing it in his 5th Floor mailbox, or mailing it to Dean
Kelly at: University of Wisconsin Law School, 975 Bascom Mall, Madison,
WI 53706. No phone calls or emails in this regard will
entertained.

(2) You may have received a notice from the University Registrar
assigning you a Web Enrollment time for next week. Please
disregard the time and date assigned to you on the University Registrar's
notice or on your My UW portal. You will not be able to
register until the Law School determines your schedule (based upon your
elective choice and/or any special scheduling needs). In due
course, the Law School will inform all first-years when and how to
register for your Spring 2009 courses.
